Creator's Key Takeaways

It is a big casual contemporary resort at sea, and that laid-back attitude is a huge part of the appeal.

The variety of things to do on board is genuinely staggering. The specialty dining lineup punches above its weight.

She is not the right pick for someone chasing a quiet, formal, old-fashioned cruise experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book popular Broadway-style productions through the app early as the theater can feel small.
Budget accordingly for extra charges on many of the best onboard experiences.
Use the Norwegian mobile app to browse menus, book dining, and reserve entertainment to save time.
